ok so here goes...
all my life i have had eczema and athsma (a vrey common problem i know) my mum also had the same problems. Around 5 years ago my mum died of breast cancer leaving me and my dad. since then ive suffered problems with anxiety over my own health. I am convinced that because both my mum and myself have had eczema and athsma i will get breast cancer too. I constantly check myself and go into over panic if i have the slightest thing wrong with me i fear the worst. I am terrified of doctors/hospitals.
A couple of years ago my eczema flared up really bad as i had a virus and was ill for a few months. Recently my skin is bad again (although nowhere near as bad) i have blisters on my feet meaning i am struggling to walk so have to stay in.
It is breaking my heart. My boyfriend doesnt understand and thinks im being stupid.
how do i cope with this?
am i being stupid?
its getting me so down i actually feel as though i am dying i cant eat or sleep.
I have tried anti depressants and cbt which helps in the short term.
where do i go from here?:weep:
